Viktor "Isildur1" Blom Top 20 largest pots HU wins ever

Amazing

[@jeff-pt8ep]

He played most of these hands well, even the first hand. The suck out on ivey for the bigger straight was a horrible hand. Beyond that, victor played great.... Put yourself in the opposite seat heads up... It's you VS a freight train who was on a Heater of a lifetime challenging the best in the world at the highest stakes. Those were the glory days of online poker. I barely slept for 2 days watching him battle Durrrr for their first epic battle when Dwan got eaten for lunch ( 4 million++ I think).... Every minute I was home there for a couple weeks time, I was railing FTP nosebleeds blowing bongs and also my mind watching. It's pretty lame what hastings and townsend did to him. Isildur will never be forgotten for the ferociousness he displayed. None of those pros saw him coming, especially Dwan in NLHU... Dwan was tilting like a 3 legged barstool for days and paid big time for it. Now he is just average at best IMO.

[@mikeschafer4440]

Do they not play much online poker anymore or there isn't a good site like full tilt?

[@jeff-pt8ep]

@@mikeschafer4440 Sure there's higher stakes online, but not like this anymore. I'm in America so def not here... All the pros play high stakes live now, in private games in Macau. You just here stories now about hands, but some are aired for fans... Check out the Triton series on KZbin. You can watch some 75/150 and 200/400 on Americas cardroom if interested.

[@GustafSjoblom]

I didn't notice any instance of that. I think you are looking at the size of the pot rather than the size of the bets. It does indeed go to 36k at the flop when someone bets out a pot sized bet.

[@gilbertwang8654]

in Omaha,you MUST use 3 cards on the board and 2 Cards in your hand.

does anyone know if theres a poker after dark with him at it would be great to see a live game him ivey durrr laak daniel G hrllmuth anf tony g!!

[@garrafa5l]

in Omaha you play two cards of your hand and three of the flop the best combination

[@vet1nar1]

Did I just saw a pair of 7s win 600K pot...and he was the caller? Are these guys high? This game is not for me...

[@edwardv1255]

He should expect to have at most 20 outs (vs. a top pair, no spade, which wasn't impossible on these tables), and at the very least 8 (vs. 5x8s or 5x2s). Not sure if he ever expects to be ahead here, but if he never expects to be ahead, he would need 17-18 outs to make it a profitable call, I think? If he expects to be ahead vs. other draws and mad bluffs a small portion of the time, that would change that quite a bit. He could of course be high, but he's probably just slightly insane.

[@aarbar6615]

many many many many many many many levels deeper than you think about the game, durrrrrr got coolered in that hand. I'll let you in on a secret, no had has less then 5.75% equity vs aces pre flop and no hand you would ever play back with that is not a bluff holds 10% or more. The game is realizing and denying equity. your holdings are irrelevant beyond the equity in the present hand

[@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid]

In Omaha you can only use 2 cards from your hand. So its a straight vs AAA.

[@jameswalterpage]

in the first hand, how did a straight to 9 beat aces full?

This kind of game is a mystery for me. Too much bankrool and risky decision with such amount. Incredible. They have a help computer wich calculate the probability.

[@wasayin]

i dont get how islildur gets them to call with their week hands. hes crazy good at setting up hands

[@sunstar6853]

because they know he's capable of bluffing with missed draws and shoving with weak / mediums strength draws. One of the benefits of being a LAG player is getting called more often when you do make a hand.

[@danyhermawan7654]

james b what the difference of being called as a fish or LAG? no difference for me at all

[@MadeInGefle]

You should check out some high stakes poker of poker after dark, durr does really well in those seasons, and also he is very known for being an aggressive online player, you have only watched prob 0,0001% of all his online hands so

Ziigmund bets out 18k. A pot sized bet. Which makes the pot 36k in total.

I don't get that first hand.... how does a Straight bead a Full house? Can some tell me how to read that type hand? (I only play texas hold'em)

[@raymondgonzales8261]

It was actually 3 of a kind vs a straight. In pot limit Omaha, you can only use two of the 4 cards dealt to make the best hand

[@Pbirinus]

Omaha is this aggressive because your so often pot commited, getting good odds to call a raise, but amazing fold equity if they fold. Im sure they dont play omaha with max equity every decision. You have to remember this a compilation of his biggest wins, there will be plenty of small pots too, in the vast majority of these have both player have at least 2 pair and a big draw...

[@Mannerheim85]

Poor Sahamies...

[@jimlawton4184]

omaha is not about flopping the nuts, it's about rivering the nuts-therefore it's about the draws. There's a ton of situations in omaha (far fewer in texas, but they still exist) where the draw is so good that the player is a favourite against the person flopping the "nuts". Like AA23 vs JT76 with the flop A89. Even without a flush draw the jack high is favourite because 6 individual ranks make his straight-20 outs. He has half the deck twice which makes him a favourite. Which hand do you want?

[@ahmetzenbel6228]

AA 23

are u joking? he was ahead every pot in this video

[@PassTheBongie]

A wrap against a set isn't really ahead...

[@thegoon3088]

***** Because the draw had 13 outs (14 is Zig wasn't holding a 4 as well) 14 is ahead by like 1% on that flop, where as 13 is behind by only 1-2%. And yea, Viktor is just sick in his head and doesn't like people trying to push him around. Plus he knows if he stacks you with a draw he's gonna put you on tilt.

[@martini1900]

+Powermove Squadron 13 outs is not behind after a flopp 13 outs is 26 outs on the other 2 streets witch means he is 52 procent favour against 48 procent..and now the draw had more then 13 outs to beginn with.any 3 thats (4) outs any 4 thats (2) outs any 7 thats (3) outs any 8 thats( 3) outs any 9 thats (4) outs.so he had 16 outs and thats 32 outs on 2 streets and that means he was in good shape even tho he hadnt hit it yet.he had 64 procent vs zigs 36 procent to win the pott..with that said zig could hit fh and would be 100 p winner on turn but that is anoither thing..isil was in favour according to pott odds

[@chrisamadei2565]

+martini1900 he is nowhere near 64% to win that pot after the flop. yes he has 16 cards that make him a straight but he also needs to dodge 6 cards on the turn and between 7 and 9 on the river. he is about 48.3% to win 50.6% to lose and 1.1% that 7-8 comes on the turn and river for a split. 48% to double up isn't great pot odds.

You are obviously clueless, this is an exact replicate then of perfect randomness, in live poker hands a also set to lose simply because of the way the decked has been shuffled, Online poker isn't rigged, it's perfect randomness, better then any hand shuffle can replicate making this possibly fairer then live poker.
